Handles migrations well and has reduced our downtime
For small databases that are less than a terabyte, GoldenGate handles the migration well. You don't need much input so long as the processes don't upend. As soon as there's a problem, then, obviously, you need to diagnose it. It all depends on the scenario, on the size of the databases, whether you're doing schema replication, or table replication. We normally do the whole database, taking everything across. Finally, because this is an Oracle product, there is support available 24/7.

Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"Ease of installation, maintenance and powerful outputs and supporting Big Data and Cloud environment as well as OGGCS (Oracle Golden Gate Cloud Service)."
"It moves the data as you set it up, and it works. I am also very impressed with its stability and scalability. It is not super feature-rich, but the new releases have more functionality. It recently had more native integrations with Oracle Database. If you are using it against an Oracle database, it has a lot more functionality."
"What I have found the most valuable about GoldenGate is that it does real-time and no-downtime migrations. Its migrations are fast. There are not many tools like it on the marketplace."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"It is quite scalable."
"The platform's most helpful features are its speed and its guarantee of data replication from one database to another."
"It is a stable solution."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"It's really easy to install."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
 

Cons

"In the future, I would appreciate a more user-friendly monitoring interface for easier management and troubleshooting."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
"It would be great if Oracle added some enhanced features or more functionalities to Oracle GoldenGate."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"GUI could be improved."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
